One for the alumni: Pictures from the Princeton - Columbia game
I'm in Dublin with jet lag, but I did want to get up some pictures from Princeton's victory yesterday over Columbia (42-32, if you're keeping score).
I sit with the alumni (at around the 35 yard line), and saw this fellow, who attended his 50th reunion, a couple of rows in front of me. Our father was in the Class of 1957, too, and if he were still alive he'd be wearing a hat like that.
The Band executed on-field maneuvers with its usual lack of precision, but did pull off the traditional "Double-Double Rotating 'P'" during the pre-game show.
Princeton Stadium has a very cool new scoreboard that runs instant replays on virtually every play. Which is important for me, because I'm frequently not looking at the right place on the field at the crucial moment.

One of the Tiger touchdowns...
Amazingly, this pass was completed for an actual gain:

I don't know if you've been to Dublin before but I thought I would give some suggestions:
O'Shea's (north side of the liffey) has great music. The crowd is a little scarier but the music is more authentic.
Brazen Head has music every night but it is touristy.
If you have time, head out to Trim. Its about an hour away from Dublin and it's got some pretty stellar ruins.
Cheers.

I liked the solid orange helmets (? black stripe) better than the faux Michigan headgear.

Actually, SR, legendary coach Fritz Crisler had used that design at Princeton before he moved to Michigan back in the 1930s. Michigan uses faux Princeton headgear!
